Application reports
ASTM D4054 - Scanning Jet Fuel and Determination of the Viscosity Borderline Temperature
For the evaluation of new aviation turbine fuels and fuel additives, viscosity and density at different temperatures as well as the temperature at which a defined viscosity is reached are important parameters for economic, ecologic and safety reasons. Anton Paar’s SVM 3001 delivers all these parameters from a single syringe. Read more.
Determine the Freezing Point of Aviation Fuel
The freezing point is an important parameter for all aviation fuels. It indicates the lowest possible operation temperature of fuels. The SVM 3001 Cold Properties provides the determination of freezing point as well as density and kinematic viscosity within one measurement. Read more.
Distillation of Jet Fuel to ASTM D86 with Diana 700
To verify the excellent precision of Anton Paar’s distillation analyser, we participated in the ASTM Proficiency Testing Program with the Diana 700. In this PTP the jet fuel sample JF 1811 was analysed by all participating laboratories (approx. 240). Comparing the values of the Diana 700 with the average values of the interlaboratory study, it became apparent that the results of the Diana 700 are clearly within the precision of the method.

PMA 500 Testing the Flash Point of Jet Fuel to ASTM D93
Anton Paar participated in the ASTM Proficiency Testing Program to test the diesel fuel sample DF 22006 with the PMA 500 and achieved a top result.
The PMA 500 Pensky-Martens flash point tester is the ideal tool for monitoring the flash point of jet fuel. It is easy to use and safe with integral fire detection. It offers rapid turnaround between tests due to minimal handling for sample loading and rapid post-test cooling. Read more.
